I like Raspbian enough that I run it on my production laptop just to stay consistent with how I compute at home and in devel. It's ancient, but Raspbian breathed new life into it. (ironically, same speed and number of cores, but 4 times the memory so it smokes the RPis when I need a little more juice.) My main devel RPi is running clfswm (so you can probably discern my language of choice), but other than the way it looks and handles, even it is pure Raspbian underneath. They're a little slow to the bleeding edge, but that's why I'm not afraid of the update cycle. My desktop (which sits alone in my office because of how bloody loud it is...) is a decked out Mac pro, but even there I have Raspbian running on VirtualBox. It's quite a good distro. They put a lot of work into it that shows in just about every aspect. Stable and consistent is all I ever ask for once the durn thing is working for me.
